Died. John Stink (Ho-tah-moie), circa 75, famed Osage Indian recluse; in Pawhuska, Okla. One of the many legends about him: Down with smallpox about 50 years ago, he went into a coma, was thought dead, put out for the vultures. When he revived, his tribesmen treated him as a ghost, ostracized...
Tricinella spiralis is a microscopic roundworm that enters the human digestive system in undercooked pork, and burrows into the lining of the small intestine. Result: abdominal pains, diarrhea, muscular tenderness, even high fever, delirium and coma.

His last words were: "Raise me up a little bit." None of the Rockefeller family was with him. John D. Jr., his only son, was at Pocantico Hills near Tarrytown, N. Y. Mrs. Alta Rockefeller Prentice, his only living daughter, was at her estate at Williamstown, Mass. At the bedside in the air-conditioned chamber were Mrs. Fannie Evans, the cousin who acted as his hostesshousekeeper; his longtime...
